Among the many traits I look for in an executive leader, the ability to grow and develop is by far one of the most crucial in a person’s overall success. Over many years I have come to trust and rely on Howie’s approach and expertise, and I’ve seen firsthand how his counsel has helped individuals to grow as leaders, deepen their strategic perspectives and elevate the value they add to their companies. I know that has been true for me personally, and I always recommend Howie to anyone who is looking to apply a data-driven, analytical and rigorous set of tools to help them take the next step as leaders and build and manage their teams more effectively. Unique among some consultants I have worked with over my career, Howie truly gets to know a person and develops a deep understanding of their business in order to solve for the key challenge their companies are facing. This is executive development of the highest caliber and I will surely rely on Howie long into the future.
Oscar Munoz, CEO, United Airlines
“I have worked with Jill for 3 years. Her insight and challenging thought process as a coach has been instrumental in my career. The process has not only honed me from a style and strategic perspective but also helped me to become a much more effective leader and manager for my organization.”

“The 360 process that Head Coach utilized is thorough and in-depth, soliciting feedback from my direct reports, peers and CEO/board members. The process truly gathers very objective feedback and enables one to develop an improvement plan. Jill will make you a better leader for your organization!”
Kurt Wanninger, President, Norcraft Cabinetry

“I have worked with Howie and Jill over several years to support and further my own development and that of my team. They are committed to understanding the individual, the relationships, and the organization. Through their thorough and highly personalized approach to coaching, I have seen their work yield measurable results. Head Coach is my trusted partner in executive coaching.”
Fredrik Eliasson, Executive Vice President and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer​, CSX
“Head Coach has been a valued and trusted partner of CSX for many years by learning our business and our people. Guided by the philosophy that effective leadership is based on character, competence and connectedness, Head Coach plays a critical role in building leader capabilities to strengthen relationships and effectively partner to drive results. Long after a coaching engagement is completed they stay connected with our leaders to sustain those positive outcomes.”
Diana B. Sorfleet, VP, Chief Human Resources and Chief Diversity Officer, CSX
“Howie is an excellent partner, and is clearly vested in both my success and that of the company’s. I trust him implicitly, and appreciate his candor. Howie’s counsel has the added benefit of naturally applying itself to non-work situations. The introspection prompted by our work together has increased my sense of fulfillment on both sides of the work-life equation. My team has had mixed experiences with executive coaches in the past and I approached my engagement with Howie with a bit of skepticism. Having worked with Howie over the last year, however, I can unequivocally attest to the benefits realized throughout our organization and to me personally.”
Greg Hart, Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer, United Airlines
